Articles I am working on

 * History of Yorkshire County Cricket Club (1883–1918)‎ – new article; needs expansion
 * Martin Hawke, 7th Baron Hawke – failed GA (oh, well!) and back to the drawing board (I might have bitten off more than I can chew)
 * Sydney Barnes – only a weak start at present though am finding more source content; have given it some structure and checked the infobox
 * Yorkshire County Cricket Club – slow progress

Articles I have reviewed for GA

 * Marburg's Bloody Sunday – unusual topic that was part of a wider conflict; interesting focus; promoted to GA; review completed 26 May 2011
 * 1926 FA Cup Final – provided wide coverage of event and well-written; promoted to GA; review completed 30 May 2011
 * Hebrides – excellent article; promoted to GA; review completed 1 June 2011
 * German destroyer Z11 Bernd von Arnim – good, concise article that is fully to the point; promoted to GA; review completed 1 June 2011
 * Jack Crawford – scope restricted to cricket career; lack of source information about private life; a lot of useful assistance from the editor here; promoted to GA; review completed 12 June 2011
 * Klemens von Metternich – had to fail this unfortunately; basically, it was nominated too soon before its scope had been fully defined and certainly before it had been subject to a thorough copyedit; I also felt it was too long and should have been condensed into a strict summary with a number of child articles; review completed 14 June 2011
 * Liverpool F.C. in Europe – needed an extensive copyedit (by me!) to bring it up to well-written standard; it finally made it

Articles currently being reviewed for GA

 * none for now as I'm busy with both work and holidays

Useful pages

 * User:Mykleavens/sandbox is my sandbox page for experimentation
 * User:Mykleavens/sandbox2 is another one
 * WP:CRIN explains the rules of qualification for articles about cricketers, clubs, matches, venues, etc.
 * WP:ELPOINTS
 * WP:GAN and WP:GAC
 * WikiGnomes work behind the scenes of a wiki, tying up little loose ends and making things run more smoothly by fixing typos, correcting poor grammar, creating redirects, adding categories and repairing broken links. This describes what I often did before I formally joined the site, so I think I qualify!
